My Home


Welcome to Our Home 
My rooms are always being decorated for one season or occasion,
or simply because I am rearranging my furniture!  Can you relate? 
I hope you enjoy the tour of our home~
From the courtyard and garden shed, to our small front yard,
take a walk around and come on in!


 French Courtyard
Garden tool shed 
Rose arbor and wire bench
White picket fence for the dogs
Our new addition,  little Piper, an English Cream Golden Retriever

French chair in living room in my favorite toile!
Antique and rare, our blue opaline chandelier drops and goblets.
We use these goblets on Easter to celebrate.
Dining room, french romantic style. 
Purple transferware is my obsession,
as is antique lighting.
 One of many sets of curtains for the dining room, these in pink linen
Our two year old boy, Colby
Purple transferware on the hutch, decked out for Christmas with greens
 French settee I purchased from Designer Matthew Mead, 
which led to our friendship and many adventures
It sits underneath cabinet doors removed from an old built in.
Hallway in the kitchen with an old green bench.
Our cottage kitchen, accents of green

Green and purple do so well together

A sisal runner in grey for our busy household 
 Our master bed with pretty Belgian spread,
aquamarine is the order of the day.
My favorite antique~this painted table
A restful escape at the end of long days.

Master bathroom countertop has touches of aquamarine as well.
The painted cabinets are a pale Duck Egg blue with gold hardware
His and hers, sinks and chandeliers!


Thanks for visiting!

    2. We love our dogs too. They come in the house and I just throw panels of cute curtains that I don't use anymore on the couch or chair. It's a little more work but I wouldn't have it any other way.

  9. Hi Amy! You have a beautiful home! I stumbled across your blog during a search for Formica 180fx Calacatta Marble. I will be getting the SAME exact countertops as you. Question - did you entertain the thought of painting the "brown" seams white? I've seen a few posts on this and will probably end up trying it. Thank you.

    1. I did paint the seams with white chalk paint. But since this question we recently put in real marble countertops.

  11. What an elegant home. But it also looks like a lived in home. One that you could just come home to and relax. Not one that you're yelling don't touch that. Just gorgeous just so well done I am quite impressed. And I am very happy for you. God Bless Lisa
